a couple of build problems in trying to build xerces 2.4.0 from
the source tar ball on a red hat 9 system.
1) first, after unloading the xerces tar ball itself, the README
claims that you should unload the src and tools archives in
the *same* directory.
but based on how build.sh works (and some simple testing),
it seems clear that you want to unpack the tools archive
*inside* the xerces directory you just created, so that the
path to the tools is actually correct.
just a nitpick, but perhaps the README could be clarified.
2) the tail end of running the command "sh build.sh jars" on
the same RH 9 system:
